Abstract

This chapter deals with the special features of controlling in professional team sports organisations (PTSOs). The target system, in particular the sporting dimension, is identified as the essential framework for the design of the controlling system in PTSOs. Subsequently, the specifics of industry controlling at functional, institutional and instrumental level are worked out. By describing selected fields of action, detailed insights into the concept and instruments will then be provided.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This article attempts to meet the demand to reflect the diversity of team sport organisations (clubs, federations and leagues). Unfortunately, this is not possible in its entirety; therefore, it becomes clear in some places that this contribution is argued from a club perspective due to the professional background of the author.

  2. 2.

    A strategy map shows the cause-and-effect relationships between the different perspectives and goals of a balanced scorecard, so that it becomes clear how monetary and non-monetary goals as well as early and late indicators interact with each other.

  3. 3.

    The concept of full financial scheme (FFS) was developed by Heister (1962) and Grob (2006).
